Chapter 173 - Silly Little Squirrel (1/2)

Han Taehyun pulled Lee Jinhee into a hug. Jinhee's eyes widened when she felt Han Taehyun's heart beating faster; It was almost the same as hers when she had feelings for Kim Jaehyun.

"Silly Little Squirrel, is that what you're crying about?" Taehyun questioned.

Patting Jinhee's back softly, Taehyun voiced out, "What made you think I would do that? I won't let you reach your worst state, so there is no matter of me abandoning you in the first place."

"Hmm," Lee Jinhee voiced out whilst resting her head on Han Taehyun's shoulder. Being like this after that nightmare bought comfort Lee Jinhee. Jinhee did not care whether or not she was being naive; She wanted to give Han Taehyun a chance.

In her last life, Taehyun was not as close to her as he was in this life, and therefore, Lee Jinhee wanted to trust him. A smile formed on Han Taehyun's face.

Stepping into the classroom, Lee Jinhee looked at her classmates. Everyone had their eyes on her, and noticing Lee Jinhee's crutches, curiosity grew within them to know what had happened.

Jinhee's eyes then fell upon Im Jieun, who sat at the usual place, and the usual arrogance was not on her face. Lee Jinhee had a feeling that Han Taehyun was responsible behind it.

Nonetheless, ignoring her classmates stares, Lee Jinhee walked towards her seat whilst Taehyun supported her. Whispers could be heard all around the classroom. However, they were not anything Lee Jinhee preferred to pay mind to.

As Jinhee sat down upon her seat, someone poked at her shoulder, and turning back, Jinhee realized that it was Ahn Chaewon who had done that. Lee Jinhee smiled at her.

"How are your injuries doing?" Chaewon asked.

'Things are different this time, Jinhee-ah! Young friends who care for you!'

"I'll be able to walk without the crutches in three to four days," Lee Jinhee voiced out whilst wearing a wide smile on her face.

Han Taehyun faced Chaewon and said, "Don't listen to her; It's at least two more weeks."

"You're not a doctor," Jinhee pointed out.

At that moment, something feathery touched Lee Jinhee's neck at that moment, leading her to feel tickling, and the hair on her body stood up. Turning back, Lee Jinhee wanted to see the one responsible for this. Apparently, it was Min Hyunbin behind this.

Lowering her neck and raising her shoulders, Lee Jinhee tried to avoid it. Nonetheless, Min Hyunbin grew more ruthless and used two feathers.

Finally, a chuckle left Lee Jinhee's mouth, and she voiced out, "Stop it, Min Hyunbin."

Min Hyunbin nodded and removed the feather from around her neck. However, before Lee Jinhee could be relieved, Hyunbin placed the feather into her ear and softly moved it. Jinhee felt a chill go down her back and held in her urge to laugh.

"Yah! Min Hyunbin, stop it!" Lee Jinhee started to laugh.

"Hyunbin, really stop!"

More laughs left Lee Jinhee's mouth, and Min Hyunbin spoke out, "I'm trying to make you laugh. You should be grateful."

Moving her head away, Lee Jinhee avoided Min Hyunbin's attack and spoke out, "I don't want to laugh though at this moment."

Nonetheless, Min Hyunbin extended his hand towards Lee Jinhee, and the feather came in contact with Jinhee's neck again. Lee Jinhee could not move further back or else she would fall upon Han Taehyun.

Taehyun and Chaewon made no efforts to help her, and it looked as if both of them were truly enjoying this. If it wasn't for the fact that she was the victim, Lee Jinhee would have applauded at Hyunbin's tickling techniques.

Laughs escaped Lee Jinhee's mouth, and wanting to move away from this, Lee Jinhee moved slightly back. Nonetheless, Lee Jinhee lost her balance, and her body fell upon Han Taehyun.

Han Taehyun wrapped his hands around Lee Jinhee and pulled her into a back-hug. Jinhee could feel Han Taehyun's rapid heart beat once again, and this made a blush form at Jinhee's cheeks.

"Min Hyunbin, your turn to tickling Little Squirrel is over. Now, it's mine," Taehyun voiced out with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
